Morro Bay Morro rock (#1287)

Morro Rock, from the trail on its harbor side. There’s an excellent aerial view of the rock on the link below; the spot where I’m standing would be in about the center of lower portion of the picture. Morro Rock is a volcanic plug, one of nine that form a line in the county and are called the Nine Sisters.

Though you can barely tell it from this picture, if you zoom to the largest version, you can see that there are three sea gulls quite high up on the rock. That struck me as unusual since I’ve never seen gulls perched so high on a rock.
